on/off toggle switch

reuerendo · 12-03-2025, 05:12 AM

Hi. While developing an application using the PocketBook SDK, I encountered an unexpected difficulty. I am unable to create an on/off toggle switch like the one in the image. Could someone perhaps advise me on how to create such a toggle switch? Thank you

I recommend reading about iconfig,iconfigedit and CFG_CHECKBOX in inkview.h but beware I have not checked that CFG_CHECKBOX is exactly what you want...

EDIT: Well, I just tried and I have no idea how to initialize CFG_CHECKBOX; Using the same as for a contextual "yes no" menu made with CFG_INDEX it doesn't render as you expects...

Thanks for your reply. I tried using the CFG_CHECKBOX, but it didn't work. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any documentation on this topic or examples from other applications.

CFG_CHECKBOX only showed up in recent firmware versions. It isn't available on older firmwares, so most of the third-party software out there wouldn't have included it.

Since it displays a graphic, maybe the values should just be numbers (0 and 1) rather than strings. The "icon_theme" entry in the iconfigedit struct is also new to firmware version 6, so perhaps it is necessary for this new type. I have no idea what you would set it to, though.
